And if you don't protect yourself,
C G C D
Obsidian currents, obsidian currents,
Fm G
Will devour you.
C B Em Fm F#m C#m/E
Ah, ah, ah, ooh, ooh.
You have committed yourself,
Wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas.
All things cerebral and abstract,
With no patience for impractical emotions.
Burning everyone who ever tried,
To get close to you
But you're so lizard-like,
You don't feel any passion,
For anything but yourself.
There is a virus in your tenets,
Don't be naive, you know it's true.
And if you don't protect yourself,
Obsidian currents, obsidian currents,
Will devour you.
Ah, ooh, ooh.
C#m/E
